Storm & Convective Discussion - 01/06/15 onwards

All died off again. Hmmmm what vital ingredient is missing?

Edit: I just farted, maybe that was it

 

The English channel don't help especially early in the summer sea surface temps are fairly low and that's just another battle storms have on the way over. Now if there was no English channel and it was land we would have fantastic summer storms lol

[Grazy2266]

Just had a single stike just south of Stratford Upon Avon, a Falsey I think lol

[Mesoscale]

Thought I'd check back quick and storms have started producing lightning ha to far south and too light to see anything from my location which is currently wrapped up in bed. If it gets close then I will move but for now I'm too comfortable!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Yeah seen about 5 and managed to miss each in the photos :-O

But great forks some of them were!

Also can hear the thunder though it's miles away

[TheToastPeople]

the sky is looking ominous here, the mass by the isle of white will be interesting to watch as it makes landfall

[Biggin]

 Saw lightning bout 15 mins ago with very delayed distant rumbles So it begins. Building up over the Channel surprisingly, headed London way  Edit second rumble just now to my East.

A few showers starting to pop up further west now I notice, be intertesting to see if these develop or fade.

I live on the Isle of Wight and so far it's just been rain I'm afraid - no electricity

[Chloe]

Building up very nicely this way, hope nothing kicks off till after the school run done

[Grazy2266]

The channel is starting to look very messy, hmmmm looks like just an area of rain developing with action upfront and behind, but let's see what daytime heating brings.

Can still hear the rumbles from strikes over Horsham way. Looks like there is lots of murk and heavy showers about - can't work out how the day is gonna pan out

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Just saw an amazing fork over Crawley- miles and miles away but covered a lot of sky !

[Grazy2266]

I notice there is some further development over West London.

That appears to be under quite a nice looking cell thats built since it came ashore.

Looks like a lively little cell that, Ive been watching it develop over the last hour 

[Biggin]

Plenty of lighning and thunder now just to the west of me. AND building. Last couple have been skycrawlers.

Gone very dark to the south west but I think it's just a large pair of trousers that's about to start trousering it down. Doesn't look like it's gonna be electrical

[Grazy2266]

A few strikes just north of Reading, oooh maybe I'll hear a distant rumble soon lol

[Panayiotis]

Cell SE of London kicking off! Just in time for some slight solar heating now! Evaporation of this rain later+sun should help more showers kick off later...already got

tuAcCas

[Grazy2266]

Gosh it's all kicking off now

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

It's all going bang now but unfortunately for all us areas that nurtured the storms as they developed - we just get to watch as they batter everyone to the NE

:-(

[Gordon Webb]

yep could be some good ones down that way later me at the moment haven't gone to bed decided to watch knight rider and I hope there's nobody here aged just 18 or they'll think knight rider is some sort of new watch

 

edit - since i didn't quote i was referring to the SE

Crash,bang,wallop here in the last hour,SE London. Convective downpours and some decent forks.Towering Cumulonimbus set against some blue sky just now......a beautiful sight.

[Panayiotis]

Personally I think the models, some people on here and especially the BBC did great forecasting these storms and now theyre firing off they seem pretty active! Hats off to everyone!
